Description You said to me, before everything, before us
That some things we keep, and some things we have to let go

You did not say that we might have to let go of us

Makes me think of SCP-1762. Here's a reading of it... if somebody's interested.

Thank you so much  

I sometimes think that when you draw something really close to your heart, it gets easier to pick a color palette - maybe the heart has swatches or something, haha.

Wheee, thank you! i've always liked that kind of muted green colors in a glasshouse - there's just something a bit murky and melancholic about foliages under glass, while love - Love can be murky, but it's also a stark, stark red. I'm glad that you liked it!

scarlet-dragonchild In reply to Astronose [2017-08-30 03:56:39 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thank you! That was kind of what I felt too - This whole picture started with a conversation with a friend that love is a bit like a greenhouse flower. When you fall in love, you take care of it and nurture it and water it. But eventually, two person in love has to go out to the real world, that 'flower' having to withstand the real sun and rain outside. This picture is sort of that moment where the glass house breaks, and the couple holds each other as tightly as they could because now is the time they find out if their love can endure or not.

I hope it does

scarlet-dragonchild In reply to wildwhether [2017-04-07 15:01:00 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh thank you! This was actually exactly what I felt when drawing this! I was listening to Birdy's 'Strange Birds' kind of over and over again while making this, and the whole feeling of being afraid to lose love and thus realizing how precious said love is is really bittersweet, haha. Sorry for rambling! It just feels like super exciting when something we draw sorta resonates with someone else   Thank you again!
